Re: Does the "Charity Church" really exist anymore?

]A separate seating Charity church would be on the far end of conservative in the Charity / “Christian Fellowship” world. I am wondering about a few other things. Do they still kneel for prayer during the service? If so do they kneel forwards or turn around and face backwards? Is the music primaril...

Re: Does the "Charity Church" really exist anymore?

This was the impression I had. We have Harmony Christian Fellowship in our area and they split the church a few years ago due to size. Oasis, maybe? Anyway, I am unsure if they affiliate with anyone any more. I have recently attended a church that was planted by Harmony CF, and plan on attending re...

Re: Galatians 5:1 - Liberty

So back to the OP, if you're a member of a CA church, how does your congregation teach/apply this passage/concept to their practices in 2023? I attend a CA church (very recent; not yet a member). There is nothing in our statement of faith about demanding circumcision for members, so I would say tha...

Re: Conservative Anabaptist Church Finder & Information

___ Christian Fellowship is basically the "brand" of Charity type of churches around here. Note that most of these, if asked, will tell you either "We aren't a Charity church" or "We aren't a typical Charity church". To add to the confusion, my nearest Beachy affiliate...

Re: Common Scriptural teachings that are not practiced by Christians

Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Jesus often used hyperbole in His teachings and there are many examples. Is this hyperbole ? If not, since it is a command are all of us imperfect believers living in disobedience ? I have yet to meet a Christi...

Re: Galatians 5:1 - Liberty

This passage seems fairly specific and obvious that it is talking specifically about putting a church under the bondage of the OT law (specifically expressed in circumsision). I'm not sure it's fair or wise to turn this passage into a "principle" by ignoring the actual intent of Paul and t...

Hello. In my search for Anabaptist churches, after many intentional months, I've found myself looking at "Christian Fellowship" churches. It was not easy!!! By the grace of God I came upon them through meeting people and hearing about these churches. But as you can guess, finding out abou...

Re: A Brethren thread

Wearing a suit at all is fairly conservative these days. As is wearing a tie. I rarely see it outside of Sunday church services. Whether its biblically grounded is more important than "conservative". In other conservative Mennonite churches, ties are seen as purely ornamental and brothers...
